[processing] Infrastructure for QgsMeshLayer to add processing algorithms, dataset group paramater and dataset time parameter to allow the user to easily choose a dataset.
[FEATURE] Introduces mesh virtual datasets
With the mesh calculator the user can choose to create those "virtual" dataset groups that will be added to the layer. Then, for these dataset groups, values are not stored in memory but each dataset is calculated when needed whit the formula entered in the mesh calculator.
Those virtual dataset groups are saved with the project.
If needed, the user can remove them or can persist them on files to make them persistent.

[FEATURE] Introduces memory dataset groups for mesh layer. These dataset groups are temporary and are not kept when the project is closed.
Memory dataset groups can be created from the mesh calculator with a new option.
Allows the possibility to remove or save these memory dataset groups to a file with specified driver.
[MESH][FEATURE] Allow to select only specific subset of dataset groups in mesh layer tree
This could be done in the mesh layer properties dialog in the source tab.
A new tree view displays all the available dataset groups from the data provider. The dataset groups can be checked/unckecked and renamed.
This widget provides also buttons to load extra dataset group from files, to expand/collpase the tree, to check/unchek all items and to reset to default from the provider (for now, only the original name).
Then only the checked dataset group will be displayed in the active dataset widget in renderer settings.
[API] [FEATURE] Add a method in API to snap on mesh elements (vertex, edge, face)
The method returns the position of the snapped point on the closest mesh element :
Allow load of multiple (sub-)meshes from a single file. If file contains multiple meshes (e.g. UGRID file), user needs to select the meshes to load from the dialog.
* MDAL 0.5.90 : support for custom Logger and 1D meshes
* [FEATURE] [MESH] Support rendering of 1D meshes, see https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/164
1D mesh consist of edges (edge is straight line segment with 2 vertices) and the data that is defined on either
vertices or edges. Such data can be loaded by MDAL and rendered as mesh layer in QGIS.
[FEATURE] fix#31575 mesh layer speed rendering improvements (LOD)
As mesh layer could have millions of triangles, rendering could be very slow, especially when all the triangles are displayed in the view whereas triangles are too small to be viewed.
For those situations QGIS has an option to simplify the mesh. Simplification leads to one or more simplified mesh that represents levels of detail (LOD). When rendering the mesh, the appropriate level of detail is chosen to have an adequate rendering depending on the view.
Stacked 3D meshes store values on the volumes that are regularly stacked over base 2d mesh. User can select various 3d to 2d averaging/interpolation method to convert values on volumes (3d) to values on faces (2d) that can be shown in mesh layer. This is achieved by new tab in the mesh layer properties dialog.
CRS validation, regardless of the user's settings
This avoids hacks put in place in other parts of QGIS code or in plugins
to temporarily deactivate the CRS validation prompt, providing a supported,
stable method to indicate that when loading a particular layer no CRS
validation is required.
[feature] [mesh] #20731 add option to format time in mesh layer
There is new settings dialog that can be opened by button next to time slider. User can set reference time and time format (e.g. 2019-03-21 22:01:11).
Similarly to raster calculator, mesh calculator can take dataset groups from current mesh layer and
combine them with various aritmentic/logical operators to new dataset group.

QgsMapLayerStyle::StyleCategory has moved to QgsMapLayer to avoid making QgsMapLayerStyle a QObject and they are mostly used in QgsMapLayer
